Lately I have been addicted to anything Chevron and have always wanted to a manicure with this pattern, so here's my unique take on the Chevron Manicure.

Nail of the Day - Summer Rainbow Ombre Nails

I'm really into the swing of Summer and as I've mentioned before I'm a sucker for anything Neon, Pastel, Rainbows and Ombre especially on nails! I've been wanting to do Rainbow Ombre nails for ages and Summer is the perfect time for these nails especially for Holiday!

Here's how I created mine.

What's your favourite thing to do in Summer?
